Tallest Reading team

by WoodleyRoyal » 28 Nov 2020 21:34

Lots of mention recently about the height we have in the team. I’m a lazy fucker and can’t be bothered to work it out. But I heard the tail end of some dellor waffle that this might be the tallest Reading team there has ever been. Anyone care to do the number crunching? And how tall on average is our team at the moment do we have any first 11 players under 6 foot?

Cheers

For starters Rinomhota and Richards are 5ft8 and 5ft7. Rafael is only 6ft1 so not a very tall keeper. Walker is the only player above the reportedly 6ft4 Lucas Joao.

He is but I reckon a lot of the recent teams have been taken down by certain players. 5ft5 Kelly didn't help the squad average.

Height of yesterday’s starting XI (according to transfermarkt.com)

Rafael = 1.86m (6 feet 1.2 inches)
Holmes = 1.85m (6 feet 0.8 inches)
Morrison = 1.83m (6 feet 0 inches)
Moore = 1.85m (6 feet 0.8 inches)
Richards = 1.85m (6 feet 0.8 inches)
Rinomhota = 1.75m (5 feet 8.9 inches)
Laurent = 1.88m (6 feet 2 inches)
Olise = 1.76m (5 feet 9.2 inches)
Meite = 1.84m (6 feet 0.4 inches)
Ejaria = 1.84m (6 feet 0.4 inches)
Joao = 1.93m (6 feet 3.9 inches)

To me that is a tall team (avg height approx 6 feet 0.5 inches). No clue how that stacks up against past Reading teams.

I feel like some of the Stam squads would beat this one comfortably. If we ever fielded a side with Cooper at centre back, Blackett at left back and some combination of Joey, Evans, Williams and Swift in midfield then that would take some beating.

There was that one time that Clarke picked Cooper and Knight together at centre back. Would be surprising if that duo ever gets beaten. Also had Niall Keown at right back and Jack Stacey on the right wing, but the strike pairing of Yakubu and Cox was nothing to write home about.

No way is Richards that height. Look at him. He's tiny.

Richards = 1.85m (6 feet 0.8 inches)
Meite = 1.84m (6 feet 0.4 inches)
.

I’m guessing 1.85m is the default height because no way Holmes and Richards are the same height :lol: And Richards taller than Meite? :lol:

Would guess Richards is more like 1.77m and Holmes more like 1.91m.

Well just goes to show how **** transfermarkt’s data must be. But then they are only using the data from the Reading FC website and that has Richards as 185cm

But looking at the much more reliable Wikipedia ( :lol: ) Richards is 1.77m (5 feet 9.6 inches) and Yaks is given as 6 foot 1

Get someone down the ground with a tape measure.
